2008年01月16日(水) Look Who's Working!

数学と聞いただけで休学を考慮したこともある身では
ありますが、応用数学というふれこみのわりには
私にもよくわかるjokeです。
ボストンのDさんからいただきました。
自分のことを言われたようで辛いジョークでもありますが。

Applied Mathematics:

The population of this country is 237 million.
104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school,
which leave 48 million to do the work.

Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal government.
This leaves 19 million to do the work.

4 million are in the Armed Forces,
which leaves 15 million to do the work.

Take from the total the 14.8 million people who work for State and City Government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.

There are 188,000 in hospitals,
so that leaves 12,000 to do the work.

Now, there are 11,998 people in prisons.
That leaves Just two people to do the work. You and me.

And you're just sitting there reading jokes all day!
